(Drumpf did finally settle in New York, starting a course of events that would one day make Jeb Bush very sad.)

How they feel about Trump: The village doesn't seem to have grown fonder of the Drumpfs, as Deutsche Welle contacted Trump's distant relations and elicited little more on the record than, "Hopefully this hype will ease up soon."

How Trump feels about them: While Trump went through a period of, shall we say, ambivalence about his German heritage -- more about this shortly -- he declared in the 2014 documentary "Kings of Kallstadt": "I love Kallstadt. Ich bin ein Kallstadter."

Incidentally, the other Kallstadt Kings are the Heinz family, conquerors of the ketchup kingdom.

Scotland

"I feel Scottish."

Key communities: Tong, Aberdeen

What he got from them: His mom, golf resorts

The connections: Trump feels strongly about being born in the U.S.A. -- ask Hawaii-born Barack Obama and Canadian-born Ted Cruz -- making it surprising his own mother comes from a small village across the Atlantic.

How Trump feels about them: Trump doesn't comment on the Czech people, but remains fond of his former wife -- even in the midst of the divorce, he had nice things to say about her (and his mistress and himself).

"To tell you the truth, I've made Ivana a very popular woman," he said. "I've made a lot of satellites.

"Hey, whether it's Marla or Ivana. Marla can do any movie she wants to now.

"Ivana can do whatever she wants."

Slovenia (then Yugoslavia)

Key community: Sevnica

What he got from them: His wife (current version)

The connections: Melanija Knavs (later Melania Knauss) came from a town of 5,000 before moving to the capital of Ljubljana.

At 18, she signed with a Milan modeling agency and began an international career, working with photographers like Helmut Newton and appearing on the cover of Vogue.

At 34, she married Trump in 2005, with Hillary Clinton in attendance ... as well as potential future political opponents Simon Cowell and Star Jones (anything's possible now, people).

How they feel about Trump: Excited about the prospect of a Future First Lady -- the United States' first foreign-born one since John Quincy Adams' London-born wife Louisa left the White House in 1829 -- Slovenia seems fairly supportive of The Donald.

The folk of Sevnica hope a Trump win might lead to publicity and additional donations from Melania. (She gave to the local health clinic after the 2006 birth of their son, Barron.)

How Trump feels about them: Trump doesn't really discuss Slovenia, but he's said plenty about their native daughter.

For instance, during a 2004 Howard Stern interview, Trump reported that through their five-year courtship he was unaware of Melania ever having a bowel movement:

"I've never seen anything -- it's amazing."

While this has been widely reported, it's been less noted Trump went on to concede there might be pooping "after marriage," yet wed her anyway. (Love!)

"When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best. They're not sending you. They're not sending you. They're sending people that have lots of problems, and they're bringing those problems with us.

China

The connections: Trump labels that don't read "Made in Mexico" often say "Made in China."

Trump explained this in 2011 by declaring, "China so manipulates their currency it makes it almost impossible for American companies to compete."

But Trump-branded clothes aren't the only Trump product made profitable with Chinese input -- 100 Chinese investors are contributing a combined $50 million to the still-under-construction Trump Bay Street skyscraper in New Jersey.

How they feel about Trump: He's on better terms with these locals than the Scots, but Trump still caused outrage when he proposed building what Friends of the Irish Environment termed a "monster sea wall." (The Donald likes walls.)

Sweden

The connections: Trump's father apparently reasoned being a German-American wasn't great for business during and right after World War II, so he presented himself as Swedish.

Donald carried on the family tradition, insisting as recently as 1990, "My father was not German; my father's parents were German ... Swedish, and really sort of all over Europe."

How they feel about Trump: Based on the popularity of Swedish website TrumpDonald.org where you give Donald a blast of trump(et) -- it's been blown 110,000,000 times and counting -- the flirtation may be one-sided.

How Trump feels about them: He still thinks highly of them.

Trump declared during a 2015 interview, "To the best of my knowledge the people that knocked down the World Trade Center -- you know where they're -- they didn't fly back to Sweden, OK."

Three months later, Novanto resigned -- while declaring his innocence -- after nationally televised hearings on allegations he attempted to extort stock worth $4 billion -- yes, with a "b" -- further proving that regardless of nationality, race or religion, Trump likes people who do -- and are accused of doing -- things big.
